Sunday February 14, 1999
Private Lessons
10-11 am Rasyad Cheung
Note: The private lessons topics will be chosen by the student. Bring music
that you wish to work on to the lesson. All lessons and classes will start
and end on time. Please do not arrive late. Refunds will not be possible.
More private lessons are available for those who have not signed up yet.
Additional time slots will be added to saturday and sunday mornings.
Unfortunately there is not enough time for anyone to take a second private
lesson.
If you are interested in a private lesson and have not signed up do so asap
as there are very few slots available.
For those who have signed up but not paid, please do so soon!
For the hosts: Robin, Nik and Robert, please send me your adresses with
directions to your house, parking information etc so i can forward it to
the list of students.
For those who are not taking private lessons but only master classes: One
hour classes are $10 and 2 hour classes are $20. Please pay at the class.
For those who have paid $100, you are free to attend all the classes you
desire. In addition, anyone can sit on on lessons that wants to. All
classes and lessons are open to all for observation.
I am handling the finances and will pay Kurahashi his fee when he arrives
and i will send the airfare money to Ronnie Seldin who paid it in advance.
Any questions or comments, feel free to ask!
If there is something not covered in the master classes, please let me know
and i will see about making a change if it is necessary. Most of the pieces
for the master classes are "beginner" pieces in order to make them more
accessible for all to take part. Only one Honkyoku class is on a very
difficult work and that will either be Ajika or Jimbo San'ya.
The solo concert on Friday will feature the following Honkyoku, most of
which are in the master classes as well:
KyoRei, Mukaiji, Sanya Sugagki, Jimbo Sanya, Azuma No Kyoku, Ajikan and
Kumoi Jishi.

ps please forward this to anyone who may be interested.
